coalition of terror.

That's a new one. What with "Strong and Stable" (or is that "Weak and Wobbly"), "Coalition of Chaos" (Trev's "Coalition of Terror")...
A plague on all their houses. I think the correct term for all the politicians (all parties) comes from something said on HIGNFY once by Miles Jupp - "Bowl of Bollocks". Now I must go out and vote...

Car Crash Britain.

What (un)fortunate timing!

Did you visit these sites and give them your appraisal of that sentence?

How, without signing up?

Good point. How about an email to PCW then? (If they are like many people on t'net their contact information is less than useless.)

Twitter feed is OK once you dismiss the sign up page. The Facebook one stays, covering about a third of the screen, but you can get rid of it with AdBlock

I think Mike0001's point is you can't add a TwitFace message without signing up. But, as you say, it is possible to read them.

 

[Trev]

Well, just why should you be able to message without signing up? We have to here.

 

[EEPhil]

To tell the twerps at PCW that you don't want to sign up to third party webshite to leave them a message.

 

[Black Hole]

(Trev's "Coalition of Terror")

Coal petition of Trevor?

Catch 22 rules OK.

Send it back to the Slough Trading Estate and see if you can get a replacement.

Interesting that they say for a south polar pit that North is up. It's down and sideways as well. They know nothing.

 

[Black Hole]

I can explain that. For astronomical photos it is always necessary to clarify whether a view is north up (as would be seen by naked eye from the northern hemisphere) or south up (as would be seen through an inverting telescope) or some other orientation. I doubt the pit is actually on the south pole, just near it.

I hope it's not a black one.

I see that tomorrow evening, the night of the election, at 9pm ITV are showing an episode of Car Crash Britain. Probably the most appropriately titled programme of the day

Sometimes I do hate being right

I think Trev's point was that at the South Pole, so called, the North Pole is straight down, or, alternatively, off in any direction along a great circle.

 

[gomezz]

Is there not a cartographical convention that at the South Pole nominal North is taken as being along the Prime Meridian?

 

[Deleted member 473]

Which way is south at the South Pole? No need to answer, it's a nonsense question.

And where are the East and West Poles?
